For me, the equation is quite a puzzle as #Modiyapa# adds Hindutva flavour to this historical visit and at the same time, RSS strikes deal with those forces which are best known for minority persecution in Bangladesh.
Mind you, RSS had been insisting that Modi should make an issue of the persecution of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh and the issue is made.
Whereas RSS wants border with Bangladesh SEALED to stop illegal immigration!
But the Maggie Masala Diplomacy is turned to be Hindutva Diplomacy yet again as it had been in Bhutan and Nepal!
Official stance of RSS is quite against illegal migration and RSS has no sympathy for those minorities in Bangladesh who are subjected to persecution!
RSS wants border with Bangladesh SEALED to stop illegal immigration! Calling the India-Bangladesh deal a “landmark” move, RSS mouthpiece Organiser has cautioned the government that a “Jammu & Kashmir-like imbroglio on India’s eastern border” will arise, if illegal immigration from Bangladesh is not checked.
But the Maggie Masala Diplomacy is turned to be Hindutva Diplomacy yet again as it had been in Bhutan and Nepal!
I have been addressing the issue since 2003 as follows:
Some notes on Citizenship Amendment Act from beginning in reference to anti Bangladeshi Jihad!
The Ruling Zionist and Brahaminical Hegemony and its India Incs Government have launched UNPRECEDENTED Monopolistic Aggression against the Aborigine Indigenous India. The target remains to EXPLOIT all Natural Resources without any Mercy. Tribal Scheduled Areas are under seizing. Unique Identity Project and Citizenship Amendment Act together create an AGENCY to ROB Citizenship of the owners of the Natural resources! Environment Hype is killed with shifting Jai Ram Ramesh. Now Mining Amendment Bill is followed by Land Acquisition Bill 2011, which has to redefine PUBLIC Interest as CORPORATE Interest! The decks for the New Act are clear as Mamata Banerjee is apparently happy and TRINAMOOL CONGRESS to back the Bill!
In India, RSS banks on minority persecution in Bangladesh to provoke Hindutva in Bengali demography and continuous refugee influx followed by the infinite suffering of the migrants boosts Hindutva. Taslima Nasrin had been living in India since she wrote Lajja with the theme of minority persecution, Just before Modi's visit to Dhaka ,Taslima Nasrin has been shifted to United Sates of America under human right umbrella.US VISA is not so available and it seems quite a wonder.
Mind you, RSS on Wednesday said it would request Prime Minister Narendra Modi to raise the issue of safety of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh with the government of that country during his trip there beginning on June 6.
Government of India hitherto had been muted on minority persecution in erstwhile East Pakistan and later, in Bangladesh. Though RSS had been banking on this hot currency, is never pursued the issue and rather introduced measures to loose Hell against those who migrated because of minority persecution.
NDA government violated United Nations charter for refugees, international laws and the very frame work of Indian constitution to declare refugees from East Bengal illegal infiltrators and subjected to be deported, thus, the nationwide deportation drive launched in 2003 by then NDA government without addressing the problem of continuous refugee influx due to minority persecution.
Rather, NDA promoted continuous hate campaign against Indian minorities making an issue of minority persecution in Bangladesh to polarize Indian people on religious lines and used everything available to prove minority persecution in Bangladesh.
It is quite contradictory that RSS, on the other hand aligns with those war criminals, Razaakars, Rapists and Killers united under the umbrella of BNP Jammat combine which does everything to kill democracy, secularism and Bangla nationalism in Bangladesh.
It is believed in Bangladesh that minorities there support Awami League and tend to vote for Awami league. Hence, in any situation of political violence the Opposition chose minorities as soft target.
For me, the equation is quite a puzzle as Modiyapa adds Hindutva flavour to this historical visit and at the same time, RSS strikes deal with those forces which are best known for minority persecution in Bangladesh.
Mind you, RSS had been insisting that Modi should make an issue of the persecution of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh and the issue is made.
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached Dhaka on a two-day visit, Bangladesh’s Hindu community on Saturday said they live in “constant fear of persecution” by the religious fundamentalists and wanted the Indian leader to take note of this and raise it with the Bangladeshi leadership.
“The religious majority and the fundamental groups want the Hindus to leave this country, where we are born and brought up,” said Rana Dasgupta, general secretary of Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council.
He said Hindus are under the “constant fear of persecution” by fundamentalists and felt India, as a global player, could help improve their conditions. “We feel Narendra Modi, being the Prime Minister of India, should send out a strong message to the fundamental forces of Bangladesh that attack on minorities will not be tolerated,” Dasgupta told PTI on a day Modi arrived Dhaka on his maiden visit.
Renowned theatre activist Piyush Bandopadhaya wants Modi to voice the concerns of the minorities especially the Hindus with his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina. “No doubt the Sheikh Hasina government is very friendly towards the minorities but we feel that if Modi steps in, it will be more fruitful,” he said.
